2008 Arnold Strongman Classic

Zydrunas Savickas of Lithuania triumphs again for # 6!

See Zydrunas Savickas of Lithuania as he wins two events beating an international field of 10 champions to capture the 7th Annual Arnold Strongman Classic title. He was the sensational winner for the sixth year in a row.

You could say that he owns this event now!

Overall there were 12 world records set throughout the competition. Savickas set three of them. In the Tire Deadlift he lifted 1,027 lbs. In the Circus Dumbbell he tied with Derek Poundstone for the world record with nine lifts each. In the Manhood Stones he lifted 525 lbs. three times. Savickas had won the Arnold Strongman Classic for the previous 5 years and started as the red hot favourite. He is generally considered to be the Strongest Man in the World, at 6’3” and over 400 pounds, the man is a giant of strength. Asked his exact weight this year he said that was classified information!

Finishing second was Derek Poundstone of USA. This was a sensational effort beating USA’s World Strongest Man winner Phil Pfister and many other highly credentialed Strongmen. West Virginia's Phil Pfister won the prestigious "World's Strongest Man" competition in 2006 to become the first American to win the title since Bill Kazmaier won in 1982. Pfister, a hulking 6-foot-6, 350-pound former firefighter from Charleston, West Virginia is always one of the most popular Strongmen at the Arnold Strongman Classic. It was an injury that caused World’s Strongest Man winner Vasyl Virastyuk to finish in 10th position.

This DVD was shot with multiple cameras. Our special thanks to Live Technologies, Inc. Head Judge was David Webster.

Contestants will lift the wheels from the floor to overhead as many times as possible in two minutes.
